Every era of Tottenham Hotspur football, one XI. These are the highest-rated Tottenham Hotspur legends across the 1960s to today — a full 11 from goalkeeper to attack, chosen by iKnoBall's era-adjusted engine — and the record they'd post over a 38-game Premier League season.
Attack is weighted 55%, defence 45% — exactly how iKnoBall scores an XI. Think you'd start a different 11? Prove it.
Pat Jennings headlines the group at a 93 overall — the kind of number only genuine all-time greats reach on iKnoBall's scale. Around Jennings, the model fills out a complete XI that balances a goalkeeper, a back four, a midfield engine, and a front line across Tottenham Hotspur history, then simulates all 38 matches. The result — 35–3 — reflects both the raw talent and how the pieces fit at both ends of the pitch.

Build Your All-Time XIGet the AppBy iKnoBall's era-adjusted ratings the all-time Tottenham Hotspur XI is Pat Jennings (GK, 1960s), Sol Campbell (DEF, 1990s), Ledley King (DEF, 2000s), Toby Alderweireld (DEF, 2010s), Jan Vertonghen (DEF, 2010s), Glenn Hoddle (MID, 1980s), Dave Mackay (MID, 1960s), Christian Eriksen (MID, 2010s), Jimmy Greaves (FWD, 1960s), Harry Kane (FWD, 2010s), Gareth Bale (FWD, 2010s). Together they project to a 35–3 Premier League season.
iKnoBall's simulation projects this 11-player XI at 35–3 over a 38-game season, with an average starter rating of 93. The model runs each match as a probability from the XI's combined attacking and defensive strength, so an all-time XI contends for a near-perfect campaign but nothing is guaranteed.
Each player's overall is era-adjusted so a 1960s icon and a modern superstar sit on the same 70–99 scale. Attack (midfield and forwards) is weighted 55% and defence (goalkeeper and back line) 45%, and only true all-time greats reach the mid-to-high 90s.
